La canzone dell’amore perduto [English translation]

Remember? Violets were blossoming

as we were saying

"we will never be apart",

I'd like now to tell you the same things,

but, how quickly roses

fade away, and same is for us

The love that tear you apart

is lost,

only some listless caress is left,

and some tenderness

And, when you will find in your hand

those flowers faded at the sun

of that April, far away now,

you will miss them

but, it will be the first person that you'll meet on the street

that you will cover of gold, for a kiss never given,

for a new love.

And, it will be the first person that you'll meet on the street

that you will cover of gold for a kiss, never given,

for a new love.
